We can count on san franciscans getting a job for and the broader base staff, like there is stuff in Southern California that clearly san franciscans wouldnt see the economic benefits of that but its still a project that could have potential. The thing to keep in mind and theyre clear in the report on this were saying were going were not saying were going to build all of them and cost prohibitive to do but 10 years down the road you might be building and theyre not all launched on day one and ge...

Senator as you know there were originally seven Pilot Projects that we looked at. For them were approved in three of them are not approved including the 70 Million Dollar mississippi grant. We were deeply disappointed as well because he wanted to try to make this work but at the end of the day the state in nta couldnt agree on terms because the states plan didnt provide the necessary level of detail we needed to meet the statutory requirements.

We have a bill introduced by Assembly Member bradford ab [speaker not understood] that were keeping an aye on and a bill introduced by Assembly Member ammiano, ab [speaker not underst...

~ i know in the program ms. Hale had up about hetch hetchy power, showed basically a net zero gain to San Francisco. There are potentially other gains to the city and county of San Francisco and thats one of the issues of the rfp is to look at both in terms of jobs and impacts to the economy. And i will also say that even within our own cleanpowersf program right now, some of those costs are discretionary in terms of local buildout. So, what we were looking for if our consultant is to talk to us...
